ELI as Observer to UNCITRAL’s WG IV on Electronic Commerce

24.10.2025

From 20–24 October 2025, ELI’s Scientific Director represented ELI in the above WG at UNCITRAL’s 68th Session

ELI Scientific Director, Prof Dr Christiane Wendehorst, represented ELI on the occasion.

The meeting took place in Vienna and focused on the discussion of new international rules on data provision contracts, which were first developed at the 65th meeting of the Working Group in New York in April 2023.

Prof Wendehorst participated in the discussion as an expert who is involved in this topic through her co-authorship of the ALI-ELI Principles for a Data Economy, on which the work of UNCITRAL’s Working Group in this area is largely based.
